Putting words in my mouth. I never said he was perfectly ok and just made a few mistakes.

haha... it's amazing that when a Republican is president you credit his success to his predecessor, and when a Democrat is president you attribute his failures also to his predecessor. BTW- Bill was forced into the role of moderate once the GOP took control of Congress and the House in '94. He tried twice to veto welfare reform until his advisor Dick Morris told him at the time that if he didn't go along with it, he would lose his bid for re-election. So, beleive me, he didn't achieve what he really wanted; that's being attempted now.

This is the problem- because there are perceived "good intentions" in liberal social welfare programs, we are supposed to give them a pass when the unintended consequences of liberal policies end up creating a mess.
But go ahead being convinced that government programs are helping improve education. Tell that to the kids in D.C. who just had their private school vouchers yanked off the table by Obama. And how are liberal policies improving the energy sector right now? I'd like to know.

I didn't vote.... because I couldn't bring myself to compromise my conservative values for a man who prides himself in trying to be more like a Democrat.
